Obviously NTA, but I actually WAS interested in trying out Linux with a recent PC rebuild, since Windows 11 a shit. Yet trialing Mint through a bootloader ran into so many unexpected snags straight out of the gate that it turned me off from the idea at the time (graphics card somehow wasn't recognized despite being a common brand/model, safe mode wouldn't accept networking so I couldn't download Linux-specific drivers to fix it or even test if standard features were available, etc).
Felt that if I was already getting the Linux Experience™ before I had even properly installed the damn OS, it wasn't going to get any easier from there, even with the supposedly most user-friendly flavor of it.
I'm sure there were workarounds, but I just haven't set aside the time to untangle it. My second NVME is still sitting unused in anticipation of eventually circling back around and getting it up-and-running, although who's to say when that'll be.
